“We haven’t had much success, especially lately,” Johnson said Monday on Atlanta’s 680 The Fan. “We’ve had close games. Last year’s game was the first game since I’ve been here that really you can say didn’t go down to the last possession or so. For it to be a real rivalry, we need to uphold our end. We haven’t done that lately.”

“Last year’s game was the first game since I’ve been here that really you can say didn’t go down to the last possession or so.”

Because that’s worked out so well … like remember the time Washington launched a despeartion pass directly to Justin Houston in the waining minute of thr 2010 game or how about in 2009 where Nesbitt finished with 4 straight incompletions and you still somehow managed to burn over 4 minutes … both games ended with UGA in the victory formation.

With all the technology we have today, why can’t we conjure up the ghost of Erk to tell a disrespectful joke about Tech then play the whole thing on the Big Board before the game on Saturday. Man, I miss Erk…and Larry too.

There was an interview during the pregame show last week with someone who is making a movie about Erk. The host asked who would be cast as Erk, and the reply was “anyone who can pull it off.” I can’t think of an actor alive who would be a good Erk. Maybe Clint Eastwood could shave his head and play the elder Erk.

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
